The Author analyzes Peirce’s entanglement among continuity, vagueness, and generality and Wittgenstein’s treatment of vague propositions and meaning. Notwithstanding Wittgenstein’s dislike of any kind of pragmatism, he seems to be very close to it in his definition of meaning. He addresses meaning as a vague and inexact practice of reference, even though perfectly certain on a pragmatic ground, exactly as Peirce thought. There are notions, vague from a logical point of view but very precise in their operational handling and in the friction with their practical use.
Keywords: Continuity, Generality, Peirce, Pragmaticism, Vagueness, Wittgenstein
